I liked the book series, but I have to agree with other readers that there is a lot of details that slow down the plot and could essentially be skipped over, especially the yoga class scenes. I think it is an ok book for casual reading as…

Couldn't put it down once I started it!

Oh yay, another book about a handsome vampire who falls in love with the woman whose blood he wants to suck. This book is interminably long with a whole lot of details that do not move the plot along. The print book is 579 pages and the…

Audio: narration was lovely, if somewhat inconsistent. (Apparently the male lead switches between French and British.) I listen as I fall asleep and it did the job. Barely made it past the sexist “alpha” nonsense, would be interesting to…

Slow, pain staking details that mean nothing, boring. After reading reviews that it doesn't improve I gave up.

Having watched the show, I was interested in going back and checking out the book, as usually I read the book THEN watch the show. And wow, the screenwriters did a great job at paring down all the extraneous detail that fills the pages of…

I gave this book 3 stars for the worldbuilding, which was utterly fascinating. Witches, daemons, and vampires all living in secret alongside humans? I was hooked on that idea alone, and I loved many of the supporting characters - Ysabeau…

I tried so hard to power through this. It’s “Twilight-Level Cheesy.” I tried watching the tv show simultaneously and it didn’t help. I couldn’t even enjoy the romance aspect because they just fell in love immediately for no apparent reason…

I'm on page 250 of 579 and I can't finish this book. I feel the author gives an impression of pretentiousness that consumes more pages than the actual story, after reading the author's bio, I can see why. The book is also painstakingly…

Love love love!!! Diana and Matthew are such amazing characters, and I love that this book is all about self discovery and the journey of uncovering who Diana really is. The characters in the story are phenomenal, and I am very intrigued…

It was well written, but it was longer than it needed to be. I read up to chapter 14, then skipped right on over to chapter 41. Not much was missed. Just the typical love triangle going on with demons, vampires, witches, ext in place of…

It's another great romance and fantasy novel that ever read after Twilight or Vampire Diaries.

An older, nerdier, better-written version of Twilight.

I am so disappointed in this book. I enjoy the mystery, science and magic elements, but the love story is nauseating. The female protagonist is cliche and helpless. The book talks often of her independence, but at every challenge she…

Great character development. Was hanging on every word.

This book absolutely perfect for history nerds and fantasy lovers alike. Harkness creates a world of vampires, witches, and daemons within our own human one and tells a captivating story of two creatures with an unexplainable connection.…

I think this book is for people much younger than I.

I rather liked the combination of fantasy and sci-fi. I rather didn't much care for the "fobidden love" aspect of the story. Was a quick light read and mostly entertaining. I am not likely to continue reading this series.

I really enjoyed this! Hooked me from the very beginning. It definitely lagged in some areas, and had me rolling my eyes in others, but all in all I really enjoyed the story! Now...I can’t be the only person who thought this read like well…

This book perfectly combines history and science with a supernatural love story. A witch and a vampire are never meant to be together, but Diana and Matthew simply cannot resist each other. And it turns out their attraction has…

The first 22 pages were tough to get through. Fortunately, Aunt Sarah appeared about then, and I realized that Diana does actually think and talk the way se does because she is an academic from a family of obviously non-traditionally…
